High Sierra HD - Backpacking the John Muir Trail
1 year ago
This is a 6 minute piece I produced from an end to end hike of the JMT in the Summer of '08.
It features 5 high school students from Chapel Hill, NC and their experience along the trail. We took 16 days at about 15 miles of hiking per day to hike all 220 miles from Yosemite Valley south to Mt. Whitney. We had one resupply at Vermilion Resort where the group cleaned out the small store there trying to stock up with 9 days of food.
It was shot on a Sony A1U with stills taken using a Canon 40D.

Nice job on the video. I love that final shot.
Feel free to email me! petebelltv @ gmail
Thank you for sharing!
p.s. I love the shot of the evergreen toward the end (4:45) with the stars in the background.
BTW, check out the rolling shutter effect at 1:29-1:36. This is one of very few handheld shots, and the CMOS sensor immediately reveals itself. Also, you could avoid ghosting if you deinterlaced with "single field" method instead of "blend".
I am still working on editing together a longer version of this film. Anyone interested in funding some post production edit time feel free to drop me a line :) music? graphics? hit me up!
